Simulated Toolpath doesnt include Move from Origin

When running a simulation for milling out my part, the tool starts off at a location other than the origin. I followed the advice in this forum post, and selected an entry point closer to the origin, but this has not fixed my issue.

My setup includes two toolpaths, and I have selected entry points for both of them in the links tab. Another issue that I have is that when beginning a job, the table will move the cutting tool to the x=0, y=0, z=0, as defined by my setting of the origin for the job by moving the tool to the desired origin on the material and setting that location as the job origin in the machine. This works fine. What is not cool is that there is no upward z move to a travel height before the tool moves to where it will begin to cut, and this is currently leaving a score on the material as the tool moves to the xy coordinates of its first plunge into the material. I have found a forum post for dealing with this in mach 3, but I cant seem to find one for my current setup, a Laguna CNC, and I do not think the same instructions for a fix seem to be applicable.
